This hotel's location was convenient, a short walk to many attractions. The staff showed kindness and willingness to assist. Breakfast offered a very good selection of food, always pleasing.

During my visit, the cleanliness in some areas felt subpar. It needed attention. The room was fairly basic. It lacked some finer quality furnishings. Soundproofing could have improved. Noise from the hallway was noticeable.

The staff were helpful and friendly . The hotel's location made it easy to explore the area. Breakfast provided plenty of options for different tastes. I appreciated that.

The room's furniture looked basic. The quality seemed cheap. I found that the bathroom plumbing was old and the hot water wasn't consistent. The surrounding area looked run down, it detracted from the experience.
